NDA 1026 Tie-Breaking Policy 

UPSC follows predefined criteria for breaking ties in case two or more candidates score the same marks. The details about tie-breaking principles are as follows:

• Equal marks but different ages: In case two candidates have equal aggregate marks, the candidate senior in age is placed at a higher rank. For instance, if the total marks (written exam + SSB) of two candidates is 952, then the candidate who is older will be given a higher/better rank.

• Same age and marks: When both candidates have the same age and the same aggregate marks, the candidate getting a higher aggregate score in the written papers will be placed at a higher rank. For instance, in the scenario below, Candidate A will get a higher rank because his marks in the written exam are higher than the marks obtained by Candidate B.
